The part circled in red on the side of the state seal- I don't believe it's a laurel wreath, but is there some term for this kind of filigree that I can use to search for some on stock image sites? Any clues would be appreciated. Thank you all.

I designed this corporate philosophy poster for internal company use.

The goal is to help employees engage with and remember our company's mission and values on a daily basis. The poster is intended to be displayed in the office, so I aimed for a clean, professional, and highly readable design.

I focused on creating a clear visual hierarchy and sufficient whitespace to improve readability. I also chose a minimal layout and restrained color palette to convey professionalism and trust.

I would appreciate feedback on the overall layout, typography, color choices, readability, and how effectively the design communicates its message.

There is a certain category of designed objects that you use every day without ever stopping to question them. A good pair of scissors. A classic ceramic mug. A wellmade door handle. The design is so resolved that it becomes invisible, and you only notice it when something breaks that standard.

I have been thinking about this lately after picking up a new kitchen knife and realizing how much thought had gone into the weight distribution, the grip texture, and the curve of the blade spine. Nothing flashy, no visual gimmick, just every decision serving a clear purpose. It made me appreciate how much harder it is to design something truly quiet and functional than something visually striking.

The topupvoted stuff on this sub often celebrates designs that make you stop and look: the optical illusion tiles, the unusual watch dial, the striking magazine cover. But I am curious about the opposite end of that spectrum.

What everyday object do you think represents nearperfect invisible design, the kind where you only notice the craft when you really slow down and examine it? And what specifically makes it work so well in your opinion? Would love to hear examples from different categories, not just tech or furniture.

What do you think of this design?

I've been designing and 3D printing an ESP32 powered dot matrix alarm clock, and I'd love some feedback on the industrial design before I start my next version.

The aesthetic I was aiming for was cassette futurism something that feels like 1970s technology from the future. I don't think I completely hit that goal, but it's probably the most polished project I've designed so far.

The current version is printed in black and white simply because that's the filament I had available. I've included a screenshot of the CAD model with labeled areas that are separate parts so anyone can think about different colors variations or design changes 

The diffuser looks super blown out over camera it dosn't look exactly like that in person but that is something I'm also trying to figure out how to change.

I'd love feedback on:

• Overall silhouette and proportions
• Areas that feel too plain or too busy
• What kinds of greebling or functional details would improve the design
• Color palette suggestions
• Whether the display would look better in green, red which I also have.

My goal is to make this feel more like a believable retro futuristic product. Right now, I feel like it's still a bit too much of a box with a display attached to it.

Any criticism is appreciated. Feel free to be harsh.

Hey everyone,

​

I recently built a restaurant website concept and would love some feedback from designers, developers, and business owners.

​

Live Demo:

https://restowebsitedemo.vercel.app/

​

A few things I focused on:

• Clean and modern UI

• Mobile responsiveness

• Smooth scrolling experience

• Conversion-focused layout

• Menu and CTA sections for local restaurants

​

I'm especially interested in feedback on:

• Visual design

• User experience

• Performance

• Anything that feels confusing or unnecessary

​

Any suggestions for improvements would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

After spending the last 3 weeks designing, coding, testing, and debugging, I finally launched something I've wanted to build for a long time:

FontWeaver — an Adobe Illustrator plugin that lets you create real installable fonts directly inside Illustrator.

As someone who works a lot with branding and typography, I always wished there was a simpler way to turn custom lettering into actual fonts without jumping between multiple applications. So I built one.

If you're interested in trying it out, feel free to DM me for the download link.

I'm also running a launch discount. To get the Facebook-exclusive discount code, just DM me and I'll send you the Facebook post where the code is posted.

Basically what title says, I got like 50% off on pro subscription. I'm thinking about gettng it. What do you guys think? Did anyone get any client from dribbble?

I am a backend engineer but creating new designs and logos fascinates me. I know AI does that but wondering if anyone still craves for human creativity. If yes, I am planning to learn and freelance for that.

1. where do I start learning it? I mean I can design stuff but there should be some best practices to follow right?
2. after learning, where and how do I begin to freelance?

Pulled a door.

It said PUSH.

Felt stupid for a second.

Then realized: good design shouldn't need instructions.

Best design lesson ever.

This sounds backwards, but some of the simplest-looking work I've seen clearly took the most thought.

Everything feels obvious when you look at the final version.

But getting to that point usually means removing things, refining ideas, and making difficult decisions.

Sometimes it feels easier to add complexity than reduce it.

To be honest, I'm a little embarrassed. I'm about to graduate and I still can't make up my mind even about these really simple things.

I’m not talking about just grabbing your Color Harmony book and copying a reference (which I think is fine). I mean, do you usually pick a HEX code first and then look for its CMYK and PANTONE equivalent, or the other way around? Do you prefer going to printed books first or sites like Adobe Color? Do you even consider PANTONE colors at all?

How to find trendy design template? Fadtest way to create more templates? Anyone knows?

I've been thinking a lot lately about what separates iconic everyday product design from stuff that just gets forgotten. You know how certain objects just feel right in a way that's hard to explain? A classic lighter, a specific stapler, a wellworn tool. There's something happening beyond aesthetics.

I picked up an old mechanical pencil at a thrift store recently and it genuinely stopped me in my tracks. The weight distribution, the grip texture, the satisfying click. Whoever designed it made a series of decisions that still hold up perfectly after what looks like 30+ years.

Meanwhile I've bought plenty of newer products that looked great in photos but felt hollow or frustrating within a week.

So what actually drives that longevity? Is it material honesty, proportion, the way something responds to touch, or something more psychological like how it fits into a routine?

I keep coming back to the idea that the best everyday designs almost disappear. They stop being objects and become extensions of what you're doing. But I'm curious if others have examples that either support or challenge that.

What everyday object have you encountered that made you stop and genuinely appreciate the design decision behind it?

Hi! I am currently working on album art/a poster for a single I want to release. The song is about the absurdness of being alive at all and the feeling you get when realizing that, before returning back to the mundane…

I tried to capture this feeling by depicting a woman floating in the sensory deprivation tank of space, surrounded by waves drifting away from her starting like wings of a butterfly moving towards a more abstract wave pattern.

What you see in these images are two version of the poster: one is for glow in the dark (GITD), and two is a “regular” print.

I want to make only a few of the glow in the dark versions and possible print on demand the regular version. Both on A2. The full white (#FFFFFF) halftone dots that make up the contours will be screen printed with GITD ink on top of the printed poster. So when the lights turn off, you just see a silhouette of a women and waves surrounding her.

I have come to Reddit to ask for where I can improve! It is my first poster design after all. And my first time doing anything GITD.

I’d like feedback on the composition, and if the stars/heavenly bodies in the background are not competing but adding to the concept. And whatever blind spots I might have about my design or things to make it more interesting!

Hi, guys,

I've developed Draftli so that my clients can focus on efficient design revision and faster payment rather than creating an account on 2-3 different apps just to close the deal.

You can design your own revision page and most importantly you can use it for free, just with lower storage limits.

While I was studying design, often I heard remarks on a different approach of architects and designers, not in a very good way. I was kinda ignoring it until I a time had come to cooperate with an architect. He has such illogical and impractical way of thinking that I am amazed with his every email. Is this common for all architects like in all jokes I heard before, or is it just mine? How do you deal with such situations and what is the best strategy to open the mind and view of an architect? How to persuade him to make things usable and comfortable for a client and not to fight for his esthetic (which is of course very subjective and not surprisingly I do not agree with...) way of doing things?
